  "definition": "A homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances, where one substance (the solute) is uniformly dispersed throughout another substance (the solvent) at a molecular or ionic level. The components of a solution do not separate upon standing and cannot be easily separated by physical means like filtration. Solutions can exist in solid, liquid, or gaseous phases, with aqueous solutions being common in chemistry.",
